Congratulations to everyone who failed to take me up on https://nondeterministic.computer/@mjg59/115048295075274818 - good choice since (a) as far as I can tell no Linux distribution was ever signed with a certificate that expired on 2025-09-11, and (b) all the Windows systems signed with a certificate that *did* expire then are still booting fine

People who are still inclined to believe that Linux systems will stop booting next month because of secure boot rollover! Send me evidence that you have donated to a charity and, if Linux stops booting on any system after 2025-09-11 because of some sort of certificate rollover bullshit, I will (your choice) either match that donation or pay you back your donation (you will need to deal with the tax consequences), up to a total of $50,000.
